A certain Detroit paryenu ofgreat
wealth had hanging III his drawing

oils, which some Shanghai dealer in
Paris induced him to buy. He is
very fond of taking caller by the
arm, leading him before the canvas
and saying:

dence indicated, she was surprised
to find her patient to be msn
about forty years old, apparently
suffering the most excruciating
pains. Moving the covering, she
discovered the fracture TO be that of
a wooden leg. Nothing daunted,
and without showing any evidence
of her discovery she quietly replaced
the covering, said she must 60 for
some splints and bandages, and
would return Immediately. She did
so, bringing with her some small
pieces of brass and bands, with which
she at once proceeded to repair the
fractured limb. The surgical oper-
alton was performed in $ remarkably
short space of time, aud the injury
left TO the healing process OF nature.
She quietly gave the necessary di-
rections, informed tie man that he
would be all right in day OF two,
and that her bill was S25. II is
scarcely necessary to say that the fec
was not forthcoming, the matter
being treated as a good joke. Next
morning, however, Miss Copeland
appeared on the scene with consta-
ble, and much to the chagrin OF the
son of Esculapius, collected her fee.
1t would seem that, il the young
graduates of Harvard Medical
School wish to get ahead of the lady
students of the College Of Physi-
clans and Surgeons, they will have
TO rise very early, and use more brass
than Miss Copeland did in reducing
the fracture of the wooden leg -

THE CASHIERS ROMANCE.
BY HELEN FOREST GRAVES.


"I'm almost certain that she has
got q. story" said Fanny Tullan.
II can see it in the expression OF
her face. I only wish had courage
to ask her about it,"
1t was dull, rainy day-one OF

much doing at the store, the girls
took longer than usual at their

Fanny sat on a packing box, turn.

that led down to the shipping room, y
slowly munching her soda-crackers
and smoked-beef, and Ella Hay, her
companion at the kid.glove counter,
was nestled at her feet, eating bread
and butter and raspberry jam, with
the heartiest Of appetites.
At the. same moment, Miss Vero-
ma. the cashier, came lightly down
the stairs in. her dark-blue serge
gown, and her satin-brown braids OF
hair shining in the oblique light OF
the dust-dimmed window. She
caught Fanny's last sentence, and
paused abruptly.
"To ask whom |" she said. "Who

"You!"
Miss Vorena smiled, In response,
her face was cold and grave but
when it lighted up with that rare
smile, it was absolutely beautiful.
Instead of being offended, however,
she sat cheerfully down on the 9th

she- II have got story, else /

The rain battered against the
dust-dimmed window; the wind
shrieking around the corner, made a
miniature maelstrom of shavings and
bits Of paper in the brick shaft
which afforded the only prospect
and Fanny Tullan and her friend,
Miss Hay, crept up closer to Miss
Verona to hear her words.

airy until be can have time to die The
prospect is that they will not have occasion
to much longer delay the course of the

OF bis earthly career, and the picture which
he presents is a sad one-a man of wealth,
position and business ability, dying in his
old age a condemned felon. deserted by
those who fawned about him In his pros
